The Botanists of the Singapore Botanic Gardens: The First 100 Years

The Botanists of the Singapore Botanic Gardens: The First 100 Years
Science is about pushing knowledge forward; history is about looking backward to understand and assemble elements that came together to contribute to our present status.
This book traces the beginnings and scientific journey of the Singapore Botanic Gardens, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, through the accomplishments and writings of 11 illustrious botanists who were involved in the first century of its development. It documents their remarkable contributions to tropical plant science, natural history, plant classification, economic botany, horticulture and conservation—much of which remains exceptionally relevant today.
